Ugandan Family of Nine Hacked to Death

Residents of Kyebe Trading Centre, Kyebe Sub-County in Rakai District are trying to come to terms with the brutal mass murder of nine members of the same family in the early hours of this morning. It is alleged that the attackers were armed with knives and axes which they used to commit the horrific attack. Early indications suggest the brutal murders may have occurred as a result of a long standing land wrangle.
